How our festival paella catering works in London Beach
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a giant paella. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and portions are served quickly from the pan. Whether it’s agricultural and county shows and sports club events, we can cook vegan paella, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella for your guests.
At a fête or field event near London Beach, a paella stall brings a hot, filling meal to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

What else we do in London Beach
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
The menu, dish by dish
Seafood paella
Seafood paella is always popular.
Giant paella pans
It’s the giant pan people come to see.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many guests are eating
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and rough timings
- The courses you’d like
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The address or venue name
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For an evening event in London Beach, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We set up on time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
